VOLUME
1: Global Themes and Contemporary Challenges

The chapters of
the first volume review and integrate the literature in a specific subject
area, provide a critical analysis of this literature, draw connections
with subjects covered elsewhere in the Handbook, and highlight some
practical implications of the existing research. Each chapter conveys
a snapshot of where the field stands in this area of inquiry.

The chapters of
the second volume provide in-depth analyses of regional and national
higher education issues. An introductory chapter provides a brief overview
on the comparative study of higher education, establishing a context
for the themes chosen to emphasize regionally and nationally throughout
the volume.
